PERSISTENT COLORS MIRROR

The Persistent Colors Mirror is a Processing sketch that displays modified images from a live webcam feed. It displays high contrast pixels as grey scale, while it colors pixels that have a high color velocity (i.e. pixels whose colors are changing rapidly). Once a pixel has been colored, it's brightness decays exponentially with a half-life of a few seconds as its color ascends a color gradient. This is meant to make an interactive display that emphasizes the movements of the subjects without putting much focus on the spatial detail of the subjects.
